Problema Solution
the measure of the supplement of an angle is 60 less than 3 times the measure of the complement of the angle. Find the measure of the angle
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the measure of the angle
the supplement of x is: 180 - x
the complement of x is: 90 - x
the measure of the supplement of an angle is 60 less than 3 times the measure of the complement of the angle:
(180 - x) = 3(90 - x) - 60
by solving we find
x = 15
